Moliere's Medical Farce The Imaginary Invalid at Wimberly Theatre

In Moliére's popular and bawdy comedy, the wealthy Argan is a housebound hypochondriac whose scheme to marry his daughter Angelique to a doctor is driven by one thing: free medical care. Meanwhile Argan's scheming second wife is looking to disinherit both of Argan's daughters so she can get her hands on the wealth. A biting satire of both the medical profession and French society, Moliére's final play cements the playwright's legacy as of the most important dramatists in world history. Using a translation by Charles Herron Wall, Emily Ranii directs students from Boston University's College of Fine Arts.
